The rbllowin'g aticfe. entitled, Tales for the little jolks.r by Mural HaUtead appeared in the Chicago . Tribune : I A few days ago I promised to tell you stfmfethlrig luore about reporters. You have already learnnd wljat easy times they have; butt often those who have the best chances in this ' world do not seem to ! appreciate ' the fact, gnrf sometimes a reporter gets .this way and thinlcs his salary ought to be raised. So he speaks to the editor tdioat it. EdfCors are very liberal men. Many of them do nc think any more bf a dollar than some men of their lives, but tbeyj knoir thai if reporters wefe paid too much they would sve their money and buyi tne pa!p-r. and the editors would.be like fife Cliineseth ''',,,A'-ro- t-lprmmcr. vet rislnff-at "'times info id IceJtterance ot lofty and i solemn .elo atv fjuence wbicbjseemod fitted to b the hate iccas ion arid to tbe sublime scenery, i thfhich surrounded hiapulptf. j v. of Of i gentle and kindly temper, free: tl,emUm idle words, yet .not averse to rieveifn noceot' mirth, there wa anjwtjf hi mu kinSbat inborn dignity which. -mjide him, yorP1 every company, a man to be reVer unced.

And then tbe reporters . that were sitting, amund laughed beaHliyj but the editor only let drtfp a few wdrds of tropical warmth, discharged , the new reporter, who was very dfdc'h surprised td see that tbe paper continued to crime out regularly after hk hid left it , to its fate. New ; reporters always, tell eyerybOly that tU6y fire journaiists,' but the old ones call Utem deck .bands;, New reporters , always tbiak thby kbow eyerything, and in sortie bffic.ei it is customary to put a dish of sail on a new reporter's desk. . This is a delicate way to tell bim he is too fresh. Reporters never like to hurt afiydne feelings. An editor id Cin ciLft ali hired a reporter in Chicago to do some work for his paper. After a while the reporter forgot to semi thing about an important matter, which made the editor very angry. So" he sent a dispatch to th rrixirter. saying : You are discharged. Wbv did y6u get left on tlmt roudef ?' An. awtsr." When the reporter read this, be laughed to himself and said : '"I wonder if that old plum thinks he caln get the best of me ? So he wrote the fdngest kfhtf of an answer, explaining all about tbe -matter, and closed by saying he was glad he' I ad been discharged, because be disliked to be connected with "a Wpef Ihat allowed itself to be' scooped. It took 1.750 word 8 to say this. As it was sent by telegram, the Cincinnati editor had a pretty big bill to pay. But it taught him never to ( ask Tor xpJanatiyns by telegraph 'again, tfn'd that Chicago reporters were pretty liable to keep up with the procession. Detroit Free Freaa. Jesse B.. of Raleigh. N.

Jesse thanked bim, and the two wended their way to the dining room. They found nothing to eat save a dish of roasted potatoes and a pot of mustard.
